The reported elopement OF Rev. David.
Seymour and Mrs. John A. Henry from
GAINESVILLE, Waseca county, Mimi, is a yer-
liable fact, and Mr.. Henry out on tho hunt
for the guilty pair. They left on Monday,
Aug. 1, going apparently in opposite djree-
tions. Seymour claimed that he was going
30 Luyerne to settle som debts which he
contracted last year when on the Luverne
circuit, but he vent az far west as Mankato,
where he got his beard shaved and his hair
cut. He then came back on the late train
and, IL is supposed, met Mrs. Henry
at Winona, she having checked her
trunk to Minnesota City. Inquiry shows
that She did not stop at that place. Rev.
Seymour is OF medium size, dark complex
len, black curly hair. He was born in
Cornwall, England, and came to America
twelve years ago INT settled in Illinois.
Three years ago he came to Minnesota and
his first years ministry was at Slayton,
the second year at Luverne and the third
ut GAINESVILLE. He was well liked and the
church was prospecting under his care.
From reports 1t seems that Seymour had
backslid and quit the ministry for a while
several years ago.
and as near as can be learned, was then
accused OF fondness for ladies. He leaves
e vile and five children n destitute circum-
stances, the Oldest child being fourteen
years and the youngest eighteen months.
Mrs. Seymour is a pretty little woman and
apparently quite intelligent. She says:
| lived sixteen years with Mr.. Seymour
and know him well enough to know that
he does not love the woman he tool away
with him, and he will desert her when It
suits his pleasure to do SO.
Mrs. Henry is the only daughter OF Will
lam Allen. one Of the Oldest settlers and
most prominent citizens OF Janesyille.
Mrs. Henry is twen9y-four years old, and
previous to this affair bore a most eStima-
bic reputation. Sha is a fine musician.
Later reports Indicate that the runaways
have reached Canada and win probably go
to England, as Seymour was asking the,
price OF a ticket to London a few days be-
fore he left.

: The New York Commercial Bulletin
finds by statistics that the increase in
population of the country for the
past seven years has much exceeded
the increase in agricultural prodnc-
ton. The TACT remains, however, that
the agricultural production is sufi

either better or more cheaply than

the Bulletin exhaustive. 1t makes
little account of a more varied agri.

investments in farm buildings, tools
and machinery. Neither wheat nor
cotton nor hay products have kept
up with the progress in population;
but MORTGAGE have been paid of;

country has increased in wealth in a

simply unprecedented, Springs that have
